Moorpark is rethinking who will run its library as the City Council seeks competitive proposals for operating the current and future Moorpark City Library. With a much larger High Street library opening in 2027, leaders want clearer goals, expanded programs, and the best value for taxpayers before finalizing a long-term deal.

Why it matters

As Moorpark's library system expands with a new, larger facility, the city is taking the opportunity to re-evaluate its operations and ensure it is providing the best services and value to residents. This decision could impact the library's programming, budget, and overall role in the community for years to come.

The details

Moorpark is currently negotiating a short-term extension with its existing library contractor while it seeks competitive proposals for operating both the current and future Moorpark City Library. City leaders want to set clearer goals, expand programs, and ensure the best value for taxpayers before finalizing a long-term deal to run the new, larger High Street library opening in 2027.

• Moorpark's current library contractor is operating under a short-term extension as the city seeks new proposals.
• The new, larger Moorpark City Library on High Street is scheduled to open in 2027.

What’s next

The Moorpark City Council will review proposals from potential library operators and select a long-term contractor to run the new, expanded Moorpark City Library facility scheduled to open in 2027.
